I had the most difficult time getting through Lover Eternal, and it took me a while to get my hands on The Harlequin.
But again, at least I finished! ... and learned that I will be giving up on the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series.

I agree with Lover Eternal. That one was slow moving for me. I'm hesitating on reading the next one because of that.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, but my sister-in-law loves the series, so I figured I'd try the second one too. It's just not worth it to me and I have so many other books I'd rather be reading anyway.

For January, we have an "Oh, But It's Cold Outside!" Monthly Challenge. Let us know if you have any questions and just remember to have fun!
Here are the rules:
1. Choose your difficulty level and create a post so that a link can be made which we will all be able to reference.
2. If you change your difficulty level at any point in time, DO NOT DELETE THE POST. Simply edit your original post with your new difficulty level.
3. As you continue to complete the books on your list, go back to your original post and add the books and the date which you completed them in conjunction with the topic you had selected for that particular book.
4. ALL TOPICS MAY ONLY BE USED ONCE. Same is said for books. You cannot use the same book for 2 or more different topics. You can, however, use the same book for other challenges you may be participating in. :)
5. The books chosen can be from ANY genre and are all only limited to the topics selected from the list below.
Topics:
1. Oh baby, is it getting cold outside! Pick a cover that has a mostly white or blue cover.
2. It may be getting cold out but Werewolves are some of the warmest paranormal creatures out there. Read a book with a werewolf as one of the characters in awe of those who will not be needing a heater to keep warm.
3. Werewolves may be able to keep warm but vampires revel in their coolness. Read a book with a vampire as one of the characters.
4. January is the first month of a new year. Read a book from a genre that is NEW to you. I.E. a genre you don’t usually read or even a book containing a type of paranormal character you normally wouldn’t read where that species is the main character.
5. What are you doing to fight off the cold? Read a book that gives you the warm fuzzies.
6. It is January, after all, so read a book that was published in January and/or has a number 1 in the publishing date.
7. In honor of winter, read a book with a “W” in the title or in the author’s name.
8. It is going to keep getting colder! Read a book that reminds you of a hot summer day. Read a book that has a mostly orange, yellow or red cover.
